My Corner of Pretty Things!

Our new apartment is severely lacking in closet space, especially in the master bedroom and bathroom.  Lacking is maybe not quite the right word...non-existent would be more accurate.  It has made for some creative storage solutions around here, let me tell you!  So in our bedroom I claimed a corner as my own to store my accessories and some of my beauty products and toiletries. 

I am aware that this space won't be winning any awards for the most beautifully designed and decorated space.  BUT it is functional and organized and works perfectly how I need it too.  So I am very happy with it.  In our old house the brown cabinet (purchased from Wal-Mart) was in our kitchen but it fit great in this space.

 Inside I have some different bins holding headbands and hair accessories, my lotions and perfumes, nail polish, and some jewelry storage.

Forget the fancy-schmancy jewelry boxes.  My jewelry storage comes straight from the craft store.  I think these boxes are made to hold things like buttons and bobbins but they're great for earrings and bracelets too!

One for silver, gold, black, and white earrings:

 One for colors:

And one for bracelets.

Confession:  I have a lot of necklaces.  I've always loved necklaces.  So ever since I was in high school I've been using a thread holder to store them.  But it was past time to buy a second one! 

I love being able to see each necklace clearly so I don't end up forgetting what I have, like I would if they were in a drawer or cabinet somewhere.  I also like that they don't get tangled and stay organized.

The space works for me.  Sometimes that's all you need when designing!
